Abstract

4-Me₂NC₆H₄HgOH was prepared from 4-Me₂NC₆H₄HgOAc. Full characterisation showed that it crystallises as discrete molecules, the first example of a true organomercury hydroxide in the solid state. The structures of 4-Me₂NC₆H₄HgOAc and (4-Me₂NC₆H₄)₂Hg are also discussed. 4-Me₂NC₆H₄HgOH has been characterised spectroscopically and crystallographically as a true organomercury hydroxide.
